What is Bhagandara in Ayurveda, and how is it treated?

Question

I recently came across the term Bhagandara easy Ayurveda, and I learned that it refers to fistula-in-ano. I know this is a serious condition, and I’m trying to understand how Ayurveda treats it.

I have a close relative who has been suffering from fistula for months. He tried antibiotics, but the infection keeps coming back. Doctors have suggested surgery, but he’s looking for alternative options. Can Bhagandara easy Ayurveda treatments actually help avoid surgery?

Some sources say Kshar Sutra therapy is the best Ayurvedic treatment for Bhagandara. But how effective is it, and does it work for all types of fistula? Also, are there any dietary or lifestyle changes recommended in Bhagandara easy Ayurveda treatment?

If anyone has experience with Ayurvedic remedies for Bhagandara, please share what worked and how long it took to see results. Thanks!

In Ayurveda, Bhagandara (fistula-in-ano) is treated through a holistic approach that includes both internal and external therapies. Kshar Sutra therapy is often considered one of the most effective treatments. This involves applying a medicated thread (Kshar Sutra) to the fistula tract, which helps to gradually heal the affected tissue by promoting drainage and preventing infection. Kshar Sutra is known to be particularly effective in managing chronic fistulas and can sometimes help avoid surgery. However, its success depends on the type and severity of the fistula. Along with this, dietary and lifestyle changes are crucial in the Ayurvedic treatment of Bhagandara. A diet rich in fiber, anti-inflammatory foods, and proper hydration is recommended, while spicy, heavy, and oily foods should be avoided. Maintaining good hygiene, managing stress, and supporting digestive health are also key components of treatment. Results can vary, but with consistent therapy and lifestyle changes, many people experience improvement. It's important to consult with an experienced Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized guidance.
